BBQ Feta Cheese with Peppers and Onions Recipe

SimHey there foodie friends,

This recipe is for those Feta Cheese lovers out there and I know there are manyyyy of you!!.  I was going to post this last week but with everything that is going on at the moment, I just needed to take a break.  We bbq a few weekends ago and I wanted a side dish to add to our table.  I almost always add Feta to our table.  So, since we were bbq I came up with this delicious Feta Cheese side dish.  A simple and quick recipe. 🙂

Usually, I bake the Feta Cheese with a few other ingredients and definitely love it when the cheese melts in the oven.  But this time I wanted the cheese to be a bit firmer so that the peppery taste of the cheese along with the onion and pepper taste bursts at every single bite.  Now, you can of course use any other ingredients of your choice rather than what I used.  One more ingredient that also makes a huge difference on Feta, Oregano. 🙂

In 2019 I was in Germany for a weekend. I usually go grocery shopping in Germany because the prices are much lower than in NL. Anyway, to make a long story short, I purchased a box of parchment paper that was thicker than the regular kind.  I had no idea there were so many different types of paper.  So, when we bbq I use the thicker paper so that it doesn’t tare.  If you are not able to find it in your area then use two sheets rather than one.  It does make a difference.

I gather that you have seen the fires in Greece these past few days and still continue to burn.  Unfortunately, they have yet to be able to put them out.  I am very upset and frustrated and disgusted.  Fortunately, people’s lives were saved but the animals and the forests have been completely destroyed.  Very very sad 🙁

I hope you enjoy this tasty recipe, have a good day everyone

Two blocks of peppery feta cheese wrapped in parchment paper with red bell pepper and white onions give the cheese a slightly sweet taste. Drizzled greek olive oil and oregano gives this bbq cheese a burst of delight with each bite.

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    The fires are awful! All over the west coast of the US too 😔 We are fortunate that we don't have smoke here, but that will probably change soon, hope your family is safe 💙🇬🇷
